Conserving And Growing Alternatives: Theorizing Seed Saving And Exchange Networks, Catherine Phillips
Conserving And Growing Alternatives: Theorizing Seed Saving And Exchange Networks, Catherine Phillips
Catherine Phillips
I am going to begin with what, for a Canadian, may be a fairly controversial statement: I like January and February. In Canada, January and February are usually the most dreaded of months. This is when the snows and the cold have been around a little too long, and when many feel that hibernation and migration are excellent means of dealing with winter. While it is true that I rather enjoy winter (not always a welcome statement in the frequent conversations about weather that I seem to have with people), in this case, my reasons for enjoying these months has …
Modulated Release Of Dexamethasone From Chitosan-Carbon Nanotube Films, Sina Naficy, Joselito Razal, Geoffrey Spinks, Gordon Wallace
Modulated Release Of Dexamethasone From Chitosan-Carbon Nanotube Films, Sina Naficy, Joselito Razal, Geoffrey Spinks, Gordon Wallace
Sina Naficy
Modulated release of dexamethasone (DEX) by electrical stimulation was investigated using chitosan (CHIT) and single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) host carrier films. Drug-loaded CHIT/SWNT composite films were solution-cast on carbon paper substrates. Unstimulated and stimulated release of DEX in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) solution at pH 7.4 was measured by UV–visible spectroscopy. For experiments involving electrical stimulation, the effects of voltage amplitude, electrode polarity, and SWNT content were investigated. Accelerated and complete DEX release was observed upon potentiostatic application of a negative potential (−0.8 V vs. Ag/AgCl) to the composite film, which was attributed to the electrostatic repulsions of SWNTs …
Concerted Ho2 Elimination From Alpha-Aminoalkylperoxyl Free Radicals: Experimental And Theoretical Evidence From The Gas-Phase Nh2 Chco2 - + O2 Reaction, Gabriel Da Silva, Benjamin Kirk, Celli Lloyd, Adam Trevitt, Stephen Blanksby
Concerted Ho2 Elimination From Alpha-Aminoalkylperoxyl Free Radicals: Experimental And Theoretical Evidence From The Gas-Phase Nh2 Chco2 - + O2 Reaction, Gabriel Da Silva, Benjamin Kirk, Celli Lloyd, Adam Trevitt, Stephen Blanksby
Adam Trevitt
We have investigated the gas-phase reaction of the α- aminoacetate (glycyl) radical anion (NH2 •CHCO2−) with O2 using ion trap mass spectrometry, quantum chemistry, and statistical reaction rate theory. This radical is found to undergo a remarkably rapid reaction with O2 to form the hydroperoxyl radical (HO2 •) and an even-electron imine (NHCHCO2−), with experiments and master equation simulations revealing that reaction proceeds at the ion−molecule collision rate. This reaction is facilitated by a low-energy concerted HO2 • elimination mechanism in the NH2CH(OO•)CO2− peroxyl radical. These findings can explain the widely observed free-radical-mediated oxidation of simple amino acids to amides …

Differentiation Of Complex Lipid Isomers By Radical-Directed Dissociation Mass Spectrometry, Huong Pham, Tony Ly, Adam Trevitt, Todd Mitchell, Stephen Blanksby
Adam Trevitt
Contemporary lipidomics protocols are dependent on conventional tandem mass spectrometry for lipid identification. This approach is extremely powerful for determining lipid class and identifying the number of carbons and the degree of unsaturation of any acyl-chain substituents. Such analyses are however, blind to isomeric variants arising from different carbon−carbon bonding motifs within these chains including double bond position, chain branching, and cyclic structures. This limitation arises from the fact that conventional, low energy collision-induced dissociation of even-electron lipid ions does not give rise to product ions from intrachain fragmentation of the fatty acyl moieties. To overcome this limitation, we have …

Pyrolysis Of Fulvenallene (C7h6) And Fulvenallenyl (C7h5): Theoretical Kinetics And Experimental Product Detection, Adam Trevitt, G Da Silva, M Steinbauer, P Hemberger
Adam Trevitt
Fulvenallene and fulvenallenyl are the respective C7H6 and C7H5 global minima, yet their importance to combustion has only recently emerged. We have studied the pyrolysis of these species theoretically to obtain rate constants and compare our results to pyrolysis mass spectrometry experiments for product identification. Master equation modeling reveals that fulvenallene rapidly dissociates to fulvenallenyl + H, and that fulvenallenyl dissociates to form propargyl plus diacetylene, with lesser amounts of i-C5H3 (CH2CCCCH)/n-C5H3 (CHCCHCCH) plus acetylene. Photoionization mass spectrometry experiments using a pyrolysis source on the fulvenallene precursor phthalide identify products consistent with those proposed theoretically for both fulvenallene and fulvenallenyl …

Reactions Of Small Carbon-Bearing Radicals With Unsaturated Hydrocarbons: Product Detection And Low Temperature Kinetics, Adam Trevitt, Fabien Goulay, Stephen Leone
Adam Trevitt
We report on results from two experimental techniques concerned with the reactions of small carbon based radicals (CN and CH) with unsaturated hydrocarbons. First, low temperature (100-300K) kinetic studies using a pulse Laval nozzle technique probe the reactions of the CN radical with benzene and toluene. The CN + benzene is found to be a fast, barrierless reaction. But in the case of toluene, two reaction pathways are in competition, one of which back dissociates to the reactants. The implications for the atmosphere of Titan are discussed. Product detection studies undertaken at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) using synchrotron coupled …
Graph Self-Organizing Maps For Cyclic And Unbounded Graphs, Markus Hagenbuchner, Ah Chung Tsoi, Alessandro Sperduti
Graph Self-Organizing Maps For Cyclic And Unbounded Graphs, Markus Hagenbuchner, Ah Chung Tsoi, Alessandro Sperduti
Ah Chung Tsoi
Self-Organizing Maps capable of processing graph structured information are a relatively new concept. This paper describes a novel concept on the processing of graph structured information using the self organizing map framework which allows the processing of much more general types of graphs, e.g. cyclic graphs, directed graphs. Previous approaches to this problem were limited to the processing of bounded graphs, their computational complexity can grow rapidly with the level of connectivity of the graphs concerned, and are restricted to the processing of positional graphs. The novel concept proposed in this paper, namely, by using the clusters formed in the …

Ranking Attack Graphs With Graph Neural Networks, Liang Lu, Rei Safavi-Naini, Markus Hagenbuchner, Willy Susilo, Jeffrey Horton, Sweah Yong, Ah Chung Tsoi
Ah Chung Tsoi
Network security analysis based on attack graphs has been applied extensively in recent years. The ranking of nodes in an attack graph is an important step towards analyzing network security. This paper proposes an alternative attack graph ranking scheme based on a recent approach to machine learning in a structured graph domain, namely, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). Evidence is presented in this paper that the GNN is suitable for the task of ranking attack graphs by learning a ranking function from examples and generalizes the function to unseen possibly noisy data, thus showing that the GNN provides an effective alternative …

Adam Trevitt
The gas-phase CN + propene reaction is investigated using synchrotron photoionization mass spectrometry (SPIMS) over the 9.8 - 11.5 eV photon energy range. Experiments are conducted at room temperature in 4 Torr of He buffer gas. The CN + propene addition reaction produces two distinct product mass channels, C3H3N and C4H5N, corresponding to CH3 and H elimination, respectively. The CH3 and H elimination channels are measured to have branching fractions of 0.59 + 0.15 and 0.41 + 0.10, respectively. The absolute photoionization cross sections between 9.8 and 11.5 eV are measured for the three considered H-elimination coproducts: 1-, 2-, and …

Adam Trevitt
Aromatic radicals form in a variety of reacting gas-phase systems, where their molecular weight growth reactions with unsaturated hydrocarbons are of considerable importance. We have investigated the ion–molecule reaction of the aromatic distonic N-methyl-pyridinium-4-yl (NMP) radical cation with 2-butyne (CH3C≡CCH3) using ion trap mass spectrometry. Comparison is made to high-level ab initio energy surfaces for the reaction of NMP and for the neutral phenyl radical system. The NMP radical cation reacts rapidly with 2-butyne at ambient temperature, due to the apparent absence of any barrier. The activated vinyl radical adduct predominantly dissociates via loss of a H atom, with lesser …

Graph Self-Organizing Maps (GraphSOMs) are a new concept in the processing of structured objects using machine learning methods. The GraphSOM is a generalization of the Self-Organizing Maps for Structured Domain (SOM-SD) which had been shown to be a capable unsupervised machine learning method for some types of graphstructured information. An application of the SOM-SD to document mining tasks as part of an international competition: Initiative for the Evaluation of XML Retrieval (INEX), on the clustering of XML formatted documents was conducted, and the method subsequently won the competition in 2005 and 2006 respectively. This paper applies the GraphSOM to theclustering …

Discovery Of A Massive Young Stellar Object In G10.47+0.27 By Way Of Meta Analysis Of Previously Published Data., Hontas F. Farmer
Hontas F Farmer
We report the finding of a previously unidentified candidate massive young stellar object at the precise coordinates right ascension 18 08 38.2 and declination -19 51 50 in the region G10.47+0.27. This object was found by correlation of previously published data. At these coordinates the following key tracers of massive star formation are in a compact area; 4.5 micrometer infrared, a Class II methanol maser, two ionized hydrogen regions and three water masers. We also present a physical model of the disk and outflow in this region based on the morphology and kinematics of the methanol and water masers. Perhaps …

Growth Of Atomically Flat Nanofilms And Surface Superstructures Of Intrinsic Liquid Alloys, Toshiro Yamanaka, Jianli Wang, Tadaaki Nagao, Shin Yaginuma, Canhua Liu, Andrey Tupkalo, Toshio Sakurai
Jianli Wang
Atomically flat nanofilms were formed during growth of Ga on a Si(111) surface using an In surfactant above the melting point of Ga (and In–Ga eutectic) throughout Ga coverages of 0.17 to 5 monolayers (0.17 ≤ ΘGa ≤5). Unique superstructures such as a quasisquare-lattice (QS) structure at ΘGa=3 to 4 and a 5x5 structure at 0Ga=5 appeared as ΘGa increased. The QS structure had Ga dimer layers similar to the square lattices of an alpha-Ga(100) plane but also maintained the 1x1 structure of Si(111). As dimer layers transformed into a monoatomic layer, QS transformed into a 5x5 structure that no …

A Conductive Polypyrrole-Coated, Sulfur-Carbon Nanotube Composite For Use In Lithium-Sulfur Batteries, Jianli Wang, Lin Lu, Dongqi Shi, Richard Tandiono, Zhaoxiang Wang, Konstantin Konstantinov, Hua Liu
Jianli Wang
A novel ternary composite, polypyrrole (PPy)-coated sulphur-carbon nanotube (S-CNT), is synthesised by using an in situ, one-pot method. Firstly, elemental sulfur is loaded into the CNT network by a solution-based processing technique. Then conducting PPy is coated on the surface of the S-CNT composite to form the S-CNT-PPy ternary composite by carrying out polymerization of the pyrrole monomer in situ. The ternary composite is tested as a cathode for lithium-sulfur batteries. The results show that PPy coating improves significantly the performance of the binary composites (S-CNT and S-PPy). The conducting PPy is believed to serve multiple functions in the composite: …

Three First Order Magnetic Phase Transitions In Re-Entrant Ferromagnet Prmn1.4fe0.6ge2, Rong Zeng, Jianli Wang, Lin Lu, Wenxian Li, Stewart Campbell, S Dou
Jianli Wang
Three first order magnetic phase transitions (FOMTs) have been detected and evaluated over the temperature range from 5 to 340 K at fields up to 9 T in PrMn1.4Fe0.6Ge2. All three FOMTs, from (with decreasing temperature) an antiferromagnetic (AFl) to a c-axis canted ferromagnetic (Fmc) state, to a c-axis canted antiferromagnetic (AFmc) state, and then to an Fmc state plus an additional Pr-sublattice magnetic contribution (Fmc + F(Pr)), exhibited temperature and field-induced transition features. A interesting phenomenon was observed, in that magnetic field can induce an AFmc to Fmc + F(Pr) transition, and then diminish and finally eliminate the re-entrant …
Texture Analysis Using Gabor Wavelets, Golshah Naghdy, Jianli Wang, Philip Ogunbona
Texture Analysis Using Gabor Wavelets, Golshah Naghdy, Jianli Wang, Philip Ogunbona
Jianli Wang
Receptive field profiles of simple cells in the visual cortex have been shown to resemble even- symmetric or odd-symmetric Gabor filters. Computational models employed in the analysis of textures have been motivated by two-dimensional Gabor functions arranged in a multi-channel architecture. More recently wavelets have emerged as a powerful tool for non-stationary signal analysis capable of encoding scale-space information efficiently. A multi-resolution implementation in the form of a dyadic decomposition of the signal of interest has been popularized by many researchers. In this paper, Gabor wavelet configured in a 'rosette' fashion is used as a multi-channel filter-bank feature extractor for …
Large Magnetocaloric Effect In Re-Entrant Ferromagnet Prmn 1.4fe0.6ge2, Rong Zeng, S Dou, Jianli Wang, Stewart Campbell
Large Magnetocaloric Effect In Re-Entrant Ferromagnet Prmn 1.4fe0.6ge2, Rong Zeng, S Dou, Jianli Wang, Stewart Campbell
Jianli Wang
Magnetocaloric effects (MCE) at multiple magnetic phase transition temperatures in PrMn1.4Fe0.6Ge2 were investigated by heat capacity and magnetization measurements. PrMn1.4Fe0.6Ge2 is of a re-entrant ferromagnet and performs multiple magnetic phase transitions in the temperature range from 5 to 340 K. A large magnetic entropy change (−ΔSM) 8.2 J/kg K and adiabatic temperature change (ΔTad) 4.8 K are observed for a field change of 0–1.5 T around 25.5 K, associated with the field-induced first order magnetic phase transition (FOMT) from the antiferromagnetic to the ferromagnetic state with an additional Pr magnetic contribution. These results suggest that a re-entrant ferromagnet is probably …

Jianli Wang
This report details correlated electrical, mechanical and magnetic behaviour in BiFeO3 ceramics doped with 10% Ln (Ln D Sm, Nd) ions on the Bi, or perovskite A, site and synthesized by a sol-gel method. The ceramics exhibit bulk piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties and clear ferroelectric domain patterns through piezoresponse force microscopy. Resonant ultrasound spectroscopy, dielectric spectroscopy and magnetometry studies show correlated magnetoelectromechanical behaviour and the existence of weak ferromagnetism for both compositions. An anomaly with simultaneous mechanical and magnetic signatures is discovered in both materials near room temperature, while previously reported transitions and anomalies are found to exhibit electro- and/or …
The Distortional Effects Of Temporal Aggregation On Granger Causality, Gulasekaran Rajaguru, Tilak Abeysinghe
The Distortional Effects Of Temporal Aggregation On Granger Causality, Gulasekaran Rajaguru, Tilak Abeysinghe
Gulasekaran Rajaguru
Economists often have to use temporally aggregated data in causality tests. A number of theoretical studies have pointed out that temporal aggregation has distorting effects on causal inference. This paper provides a quantitative assessment of the magnitude of the distortions created by temporal aggregation by plugging in theoretical cross covariances into the limiting values of least squares estimates. Some Monte Carlo results and an application are provided to assess the impact in small samples. It is observed that in general the most distorting causal inferences are likely at low levels of temporal aggregation. At high levels of aggregation, causal information …
A Mathematical Model For Estimation Of Fibre, Abhijit Bhattacharya, Kuldeep Kumar
A Mathematical Model For Estimation Of Fibre, Abhijit Bhattacharya, Kuldeep Kumar
Kuldeep Kumar
Yield estimates of fibre in Jute plants (Capsulanes) are usually obtained on the basis of random samples of plants. These estimates are required by the government for the purpose of planning and policy formulation. Due to time and resource constraint, it becomes quite often difficult to compute yield estimates from samples of large size. In this paper an attempt has been made to propose a method based on Gaussian quadrature to estimate the fibre yield from smaller samples. Identification of plants comprising a smaller sample and corresponding weights to be assigned to the yield of plants included in the smaller …
Business Failure Prediction Using Statistical Techniques: A Review, Adrian Gepp, Kuldeep Kumar
Business Failure Prediction Using Statistical Techniques: A Review, Adrian Gepp, Kuldeep Kumar
Adrian Gepp
Accurate business failure prediction models would be extremely valuable to many industry sectors, particularly in financial investment and lending. The potential value of such models has been recently emphasised by the extremely cosdy failure of high profile businesses in both Australia and overseas, such as HIH (Australia) and Enron (USA). Consequently, there has been a significant increase in interest in business failure prediction from both industry and academia. Statistical business failure prediction models attempt to predict the failure or success of a business. Discriminant and logit analyses are the most popular approaches, and there are also a large number of …

Improving Processor Efficiency By Statically Pipelining Instructions, Ian Finlayson, Brandon Davis, Peter Gavin, Gang-Ryung Uh, David Whalley, Magnus Sjalander, Gary Tyson
Gang-Ryung Uh
A new generation of applications requires reduced power consumption without sacrificing performance. Instruction pipelining is commonly used to meet application performance requirements, but some implementation aspects of pipelining are inefficient with respect to energy usage. We propose static pipelining as a new instruction set architecture to enable more efficient instruction flow through the pipeline, which is accomplished by exposing the pipeline structure to the compiler. While this approach simplifies hardware pipeline requirements, significant modifications to the compiler are required. This paper describes the code generation and compiler optimizations we implemented to exploit the features of this architecture. We show that …
